Schedules in Drawbridge define when access is allowed. They are a foundational component used throughout the system and are most commonly paired with Door Groups in Access Levels.
A Schedule answers the question:
“At what times should access be granted?”
Schedules can be applied to:
•Access Levels (for door access permissions)
•Scheduled Commands (for automated actions)
•Other time-based system behaviors
•Name
oA clear, descriptive title
oExample: “Weekday Business Hours”
•Description
oOptional details about the schedule’s purpose
•Passage Mode Enabled
oAllows a door to remain unlocked after a double badge (on supported locksets)
oCommonly used for temporary unlocked states during active hours
•Active Days & Times
oThe core of the Schedule
oDefines which days and time ranges are active
Follow these steps to create a Schedule:
1.Navigate to Access Control > Schedules
2.Click “Create New”
3.Enter a Name
4.(Optional) Enter a Description
5.(Optional) Enable Passage Mode if required
6.Open the Active Days & Times tab
7.Click “Add New Day/Holiday”
8.Select a Day or Holiday Group
9.Set the From – Through time range using the slider
10.Repeat for additional days or holidays as needed
11.Click Save
1.Go to Access Control > Schedules
2.Select the Schedule from the list
3.Modify:
oName or Description
oActive days and time ranges
oPassage Mode setting
4.Click Save
Each row in the Active Days & Times tab represents a time rule:
•Day/Holiday
oSelect a specific day (e.g., Monday) or a Holiday Group
•From – Through
oDefines the active time window
oBlue sections on the slider indicate active periods
You can create multiple entries to cover:
•Weekdays vs weekends
•Different time blocks within the same day
•Holiday exceptions
Schedules are most commonly used in:
•Define when a cardholder can access specific doors
•Control when doors unlock, relock, or trigger actions
•Coordinate time-based behaviors across devices
When Passage Mode is enabled:
•A user presents a credential → door unlocks normally
•The same user presents the credential again before relock → door stays unlocked
•Door remains unlocked until:
oCredential is presented twice again, or
oThe schedule ends
Note: This feature is typically supported on wireless, PoE, or Aperio locksets.
•Use clear naming conventions (e.g., “Mon–Fri 8am–5pm”)
•Keep schedules simple and reusable
•Use Holiday Groups for exceptions instead of modifying standard schedules
•Avoid overlapping or conflicting time ranges
•Test schedules to confirm expected behavior
•Schedules do not grant access by themselves—they must be paired with Door Groups in Access Levels
•Changes to a Schedule automatically affect all linked Access Levels and Commands
•Holiday Groups override normal daily schedules when applied
